What is your favorite way to play the Nintendo Switch?

[IvanKaramazov]

For me, unquestionably in handheld mode. As a new parent and generally busy person whose spouse doesn't enjoy games, being able to pull out a handheld for 10 minutes here or there is mostly how I'm able to play these days.

I think my favorite way is with the joycons on the switch. Sooo I guess handheld

I like to play it on my Big Screen when I am home and handheld when I travel.

I think I love every way to play it. But in home I prefer to connect it to big TV because it has HD resolution and it must be beautiful to play it on HD TV

I feel like the ability to play on the tablet similar to the WiiU is one of the best features. I wouldn't take it with me out of my house but I would love to play it while sitting here watching sports on the big screen.

I'm just waiting for games to come out that are worth the money. Zelda isn't enough at the moment especially since I just bought a PS4 Pro and am awaiting Xbox Scorpio.

Another great place to play the Switch is...

On the toilet

Another game you can look into is...

SPLATOON 2

I played the original and it is awesome!

Definitely check out the gameplay! It's intense!

I really liked the wii remote + nunchuck style for Wii/Wii U so I suspect I'll enjoy the loose joycons. Though for Splatoon 2 you need a single controller for the right motion controls.

Anything that involves playing Splatoon 2.

Nintendo makes great handhelds, and honestly that's the reason that I continue to buy their stuff. If I can't play a game at my desk I never finish it, using a TV is such a hassle.

Favorite way to play the switch is definitely in my hand, not on the TV. Both experiences feel great honestly, which is good when it runs out of battery and it needs to be in the dock, but I love the "enhanced" feeling of the motion controls and having the screen closer to me. Plus I really like the distance my hands are apart when using the switch in handheld! I should mention I haven't ever tried playing a switch with a Pro Controller, I've just used the JoyCon Grip, so when I try that at some point that might make me change my mind. One thing I'll say is don't feel obligated to use the switch on the TV when you are at home!

I don't have one, but hopefully I will soon! :3

Seeing as most Nintendo consoles I've had have been handhelds, I'll probably play it in handheld mode more often than not. And because playing home console level games portablely sounds mind-blowing! :3

I don't have a switch but would really would love one! I have been fortunate enough to try one out, both in console mode and handheld. And from my limited experience I would say I prefer playing on the switch most in console mode! Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the fact that you can use it handheld! The fact that you can take on the go so easily is so appealing. Love it! However, when playing games in this mode, I got frustrated with the low battery life ( my understanding is that battety life is influenced by the game you are playing, some lasting longer then others) and the joycon controllers. When the joycon controllers were attached to the sides of the switch tablet, I found them to be uncomfortable after a while of playing. Furthermore, I got frustrated playing this way because it was so difficult to achieve small and precise movements with the joycons analog sticks. My thumbs just felt awkward trying to move the sticks in slow and small movements. It's was a struggle.

But honestly other then that, the handheld experience was great. Graphics held up and the sounds was pretty impressive for such a small device! (Played without headphones!)

Anything that involves playing Splatoon 2.

Hehe! Agree! Expect Breath Of the wild for me!

And I do have some thoughts on handheld mode... though honestly anyway is ultimately fine by be as long I am exploring the wilderness of Hyrul!

If I had a Nintendo Switch I would mostly use it on the TV but it's nice to know that I could take it anywhere I go.
